The best anti-aging products?
The reality of a multi-billion euro business like the cosmetics industry is that Maximum effectiveness promises are always made: The best anti-aging solution, which Fastest anti-wrinkle effect, etc. Unfortunately, long-term protection often falls short. Background. This is due to a variety of chemical-based ingredients. For example... We will explain this later using the example of emulsifiers – and why they are important. This poses a real problem for the always vulnerable tissue of our facial skin.

No preservatives, please.
First, let me explain what exactly constitutes organic cosmetics. Anyone interested in this... Anyone who adheres to this principle does not use petroleum-based products, silicone-based products, or... Polyethylene glycols (PEGs). Microplastics are also prohibited, as is the use of preservatives and synthetic color and fragrance additives. A second important The point is that foundation brushes, silicone sponges, or similar tools are not suitable for the Use is unnecessary. Organic cosmetics must be applied by hand – here, the product is patted and lightly massaged with fingertips; through body heat and rhythmic movements. Movement creates a connection between product and body.
The more ingredients, the worse.
These are important points that everyone should know, because: There is no "real" definition. Regarding natural or organic cosmetics, there is no comprehensive legal definition. Basically, Common sense is also required. Anyone expecting a cheap product to be purely... Anyone who buys natural materials can only be disappointed. Conversely, this means... But that doesn't mean expensive items contain more natural materials.Here we can only rely on Several apps provide information about ingredients and their origin. Exactly, “Ingredients” is also a good keyword: When buying skincare products, The decisive factor is how many ingredients are listed on the back of the packaging. The rule of thumb is: the more, the worse for the skin.
Emulsifiers vs. skin barrier
Of course, even organic products aren't always perfect. To conceal that... That would be wrong. Can natural cosmetics trigger allergies? Yes, nobody is truly immune to that. protected. Nuts, pet hair, and dust can also trigger unwanted reactions. But let's be clear: the protective effect is the most important factor – and far surpasses the effect of chemicals. Let's return, for example, to what we discussed earlier. The aforementioned topic is emulsifiers. These are a type of binding agent that first binds fat and water together. holds it together – and thus forms the basis for (almost) all creams. Bernd Kuhs clearly refers to this. Position: “Dermatologists don’t like emulsifiers at all. Because they attack the skin’s protective barrier.”
The revolutionary biomembrane
To explain: In the skin, so-called membrane lipids form very fine lamellar layers in the Nanometer scale – that is, at the molecular level. This is where fat, oil, and water constantly interact. again. This prevents harmful substances from penetrating the skin – that's the so-called skin barrier. “The ingredients in conventional creams irritate or “This knowledge damages this layer.” This knowledge was also the trigger for Kuhs’s Discovery of the biomembrane: “My goal was to create a stable compound from fat and water – in order to have a product that is safe for the skin.”
Consistency and shelf life
Let's address the misconception that organic cosmetics don't have a long shelf life. This is a claim that... which is incorrect. Even natural products must be microbiologically stable. They are safe for 30 months. It is generally resistant to all contaminants transferred through the air or skin. That its consistency can change in the process is quite common. Sometimes so-called "phases" also separate out – that is, that in one layer... It secretes liquid from a solid mass. The skincare guru's tip: "Two or three "A few more pumps and the problem is solved." This has no effect on the fundamental effectiveness. Influence.
Skincare and the scent
Let's move on to a topic that buyers are always interested in: natural skincare. It simply smells different from the conventional competition. "Different" doesn't mean "bad". That's what we meant – but we've simply become accustomed to something pleasant thanks to chemically enhanced perfumes, creams, and detergents. Bad enough. Natural extracts have a scent that – let's say – unusual. But never bad or unsuitable for the environment. Tolerable. Especially since the smell dissipates very quickly.
Mother Nature gave it to us.
All of this also applies to 48grams products. But if we want to give our skin something... If we truly want to do good, we should avoid everything that is chemically produced or has been changed.
